WASHINGTON - Almost two centuries before there was a man named Obama in the White House, there was a man named Obama shackled in the bowels of a slave ship. There is no proof that the unidentified Obama has ties to President Obama. All they share is a name. But that is exactly the commonality that Emory University researchers hope to build upon as they delve into the origins of Africans who were taken up and sold. They have built an online database around those names, and welcome input from people who may share a name that's in the database, or have such names as part of their family lore.

In less than two weeks, one of the country's greatest public sculptures will go under wraps temporarily at the National Gallery of Art - for at least a year. The huge plaster Shaw Memorial in Gallery 66, now anchored by steel inside the wall, will be covered by a protective plywood enclosure while this end of the museum's West Building undergoes renovation beginning March 2. The impending closing of the galleries is a good reason to visit - or revisit - the powerful monument, sculpted by Augustus Saint- Gaudens (1848-1907), an American sculptor who excelled at expressive realism. His life-size military relief, a moving representation of courage, dignity and duty, commemorates the most famous unit of black soldiers to fight during the Civil War.
